General Dual 8 Tire
Specially Built For
Mileage And Safety
"Quick - stopping safety, long
mileage, extra strength, blowout
protection, easy riding comfort,
smart style . . . that’s what you
get when you buy the General Dual
*• All the features you want you
can expect from this, America’s
top-quality tire. At its surprisingly
low price, the Dual 8 is the tire
value smash hit of the year/* the
Neuwirth brothers, owners and op
erators of the B. & N. Tire com
pany at 520 North Third street,
said last week. "Come in! Whether
you need tires for your present car
or are getting a new car, let us
show you how easy it is to equip
It _ with Dual 8’s.
‘At this time of the year when
Spring rains make driving extra
hazardous, it is necessary that we
be more careful than ever. It is
almost compulsory that our cars be
in perfect condition for utmost
safety. One of the most Important
factors is having the propefr tread
tires. The convention button and
rib treads squeeze together and
close up when »the brakes are ap
plied. They become practically as
smooth as a worn-out tire at the
very moment when the need for
traction is greatest. The harder
you apply the brakes ... the less
traction.
“With General’s Dual 8’s you
get i tire with a squeeze-tread.
When you apply the brakes the
flexible ribbons of rubber wrinkle,
clean a dry track, grip the road
for a quicker, straight stop, with
out skid, swerve or tallspin. The
harder you apply the brakes the
more it wrinkles and the more
traction you have, right when you
need it most!
"General’s Dual 8 is built for
easy riding comfort. The whole tire
is softer. The patented low pres
sure carcass plus the flexible tread
gives you a tire that is built in
side and out for more restful rid
III®.
General's Dual 8 Is built for long
er wear. Rubber wears off a tire
because of friction. The mdre spots,
knobs and broken up designs the
faster the wear. When General’s
squeegee-tread is running free, the
flexible ribbons of rubber are
straight . . . that means smooth,
easy, silent rolling, slow, uniform
tread wear, longer mileage! Today,
more than ever, General is Amer
ica’s big mileage tire.
"General’s Dual 8 is built for out
standing strength and blowout re
sistance. Tire engineers test tires
for bursting 1/ Inflating them with
air „ntil they give way. General’s
have a bursting resistance of many
times normal air pressure. This
extra strength comes from top
quality in every ounce . . . exclu
sive carcass design . . . and is the
result of years of leadership in tire
safety engineering For your fast
stepping modern car you need this
extra speed.
"General’s Dual 8 is built for new
safety on curves. If you’ve been
afraid rounding curves, you'll have
a new feeling of security with
squeegee-tread Generals. The flex
ible ribbons hold you safely and
without the usual whine.’’
The B. & N. Tire company will
make you a liberal allowance for
the equipment tires that come on
your new car. For the lowest new
car change-over price in Gerieral’s his
tory you can have all of General's
quick-stopping safety, big mileage
and low pressure comfort right
from the start. Get them on your
present car. Liberal allowance will
be made for the unused tire mile
age on your present car and will
be applied as part payment on new
General Dual 8’s. There’s no need
to pay cash. Your old tires may
cover the down payment. Conven
ient credit terms can be arranged
for all. Call by the B. & N. Tire
store today at 520 North Third
street or telephone 977 for informa
tion on this sensational tire value.

Modern Cleaners Ready
To Handle Easter Work
“The Easter music rings out m
rising chords; -the words of the
sermon travel through the air; those
with most meaning halting so that
our minds may reach out and find
their significance tangible. Small
children are happy this day; for it
has meant delight in new clothes,
laughter-filled thanks for the play
things Peter Rabbit brought. East
er is symbolized by the wearing of
new clothes for the grown folks,
too, because it is fitting that all
should be in new raiment on this
day that observes the physical fact
made known to us in the words:
He is risen! Easter is the family’s
holiday, when parents and children
find companionship in each other,
and sweet serenity in attending to
gether the church of their faith.
Easter is the time for all to gather
around the dinner table made fes
tive with all the good things denied
them during Lent. The glazed ham
will come steaming to the table;
around it vegetables cut with culi
nary art to resemble the lilies of
the season. Mounds of gaily deco
rated eggs will take the place of
any more formal centerpiece, and
for the children there will be egg
rolling on the lawn later in the
afternoon. At night, before the
young ones go off to bed, will be
the time to tell them again the
story of Easter, and as their heads
nod in drowsiness, and their littie
bodies become heavy with the utter
relaxation of sleep . . . curls moist
with perspiration that is like the
dew on the Easter flowers . . .
there will surge through our hearts
that pure Love which He best
knew.”
Such is the day we will all be en
joying next Sunday . . . one of the
few happy, reverent days in a year
... Easter Day, Sunday, March 24.
For many reasons lots of us will
not be wearing new clothes that
day. We will select suits, dresses,
coats, hats and other apparel from
our wardrobe and have them thor
oughly cleaned and pressed. The
Modern Cleaners, 118 South 17th
street, phone 1358, are prepared for
the sudden surge of Easter cleaning.
Telephone them for their call for
and delivery service, or drop in at
the plant and enjoy the same high
quality service at a cheaper price
by sending your aparel through the
Cash and Carry department.
There is no need to remind you
again as to the high type service
the Modern Cleaners are rendering.
At one time or another you hat'e
had them do work for you: You
were more than satisfied with the
care and expense they went to giv
ing you quality work. Get that job
over with now, don’t wait until the
weekend to call the cleaners. The

“Modesty,” As Expressed
By Memorial Art, Second
Of Stone Co.’s Articles
For the second time in their new
series of articles devoted to memor
ial art the Carolina Cut Stone com
pany this week is using the theme
of Modesty. Should there be any
particular subject you would like
published, call the plant at 3080
and they will be glad to fill your
request, if possible.
‘‘Suit the action to the word,
and the word to the action;
with this special observance,
that you o’erstep not the Mod
esty of nature.” — Shakespeare
MODESTY
(Tablet) j
The first of all virtues, wrote AI- '
ison, is innocence; the next is
nodesty. If we banish modesty
rom the world, she carries with
ter half the virtue that is in it.
Vnd modesty, once banished—said
Publius Syrus — never returns to
'avour. Critics of our age, and par
icularly of our youth, are prone
:o deplore the wane of modesty.
Perhaps its crimson glow which
fives new luster to the charm of
r’outh is indeed rare in this day of
sophistication and frankness, for,
is Burke maintained, modesty does
tot long survive innocence. But if
:he grace and blush of innocent
nodesty has gone, have we not in
it* place the sort of modesty that
Shakespeare called the beacon of
lhe wise? In the brilliant acheve
ments of modern youth, in their
teats of mind and body, are we
not constantly reminded of Sir Wil
liam Gilbert’s lines; Wherever val
or true is found, true modesty will
there abound? And when, in the
world’s history, has arrogance—the
antithesis of modesty—ever been
so utterly despised as it is today?
Goldsmith held that modesty sel
dom resides in a breast that is not
enriched with nobler virtues; and
one of the French philosophers
tells us that modesty is the chas
tity of merit, the virtue of noble
souls. Surely, then, we can main
tain faith in an age that deplores
vanity, conceit, egotism and arro
gance—an age, to borrow words
Hum '-lutein, m wmcn moaest ex
pression is a beautiful setting to
the diamond of talent and genius?
Hafiz likened modesty to the sweet
song bird which no open-cage door
can tempt to flight and In the glor
ious achievements of the Lone
Eagle—the immortal We—mankind
has learned that modern youth, de
spite the plaints of cynics and pes
simists, agrees with Lowell in be
lieving that the wisest man can
ask no more of Pate than to be
simple, modest, manly and true.
It was the mighty Napoleon who
once observed that the greatest
ornament of an illustrious life is
modesty and humility. Study the
personalities of the men and wom
en who are contributing the most
to modern civilization, and you will
find a modest doubt concerning
their achievements. And this mod
esty, which is a national trait, finds
expression in the essential sim
plicity of the memorials erected in
our cemeteries today. Display in
the form of elaboration and sheer
bulk of stone are relics of yester
day. More and more we find the
public taste turning to the quiet
dignity, the modest scale, the refin
ed individuality of monuments like
the subject here describes.”
There are so many different sub
jects, so very many themes we
can follow in getting the appropri
ate type of memorial to mark the
resting place of someone who was
near and dear to us. The Carolina
Cut Stone company located at 718
MacRae street,, telephone 3080, will
be more than willing to go over
that problem of yours with you.
You are sure to find satisfaction
and consolation in that which is
most appropriate.
